A Perfect Murder Cease To Suffer Cease To Suffer is an album heavy on the bass and thick on the guitars, leaving very little room for avoidance of the rock that A Perfect Murder bring to the table. Seldom has a band originating in Canada taken the often unconvinced American hardcore scene by the balls as A Perfect Murder are in the process of doing, and you can expect this course of action to culminate when the release their sophomore album on Victory Records, one that is poised to incite sheer awe in the rock-hungry hardcore enclave. With an upcoming EP of Metallica, Slayer, and Black Sabbath covers alongside a couple of new songs, A Perfect Murder's respectful yet working class approach has set them in motion to dominate the hardcore scene and set new benchmarks for years to come. |

Cursed II For the last two years, Cursed has been waging their own personal "Shock and Awe" campaign, crushing entire cities and states in support of "I" released on Death Wish Records. Calling for a temporary cease fire while they worked out some new and more lethal songs for the war torn, Cursed has recorded some of the most violently harsh and heavy songs the world will ever hear. The precision strike that will be known as "II" will bring much anguish and gnashing of teeth, as everything that is held dear by civilization will be victimized under the dark armada of the Cursed horde. "The loudest fucking band in Canada" - Exclaim! |

Cursed Blackout at Sunrise Blackout At Sunrise is the name of the new CDEP. The title track is a new song about subversive mass manipulation and its effect on the modern world. The second track, “Hands Will Abide” is a faster new ripper that will appease longtime fans of the band. To end the disc, the band offers up a cover of “Hawaii”, originally recorded by the much-missed, influential Canadian band Kittens. With these three songs, Cursed clearly demonstrate why they are so revered and create another must-have release. “Cursed may very well be one of the only punk rock bands that really matter right now.” – Lambgoat.com “I have never heard hardcore/punk this primal and savage.” – Digitalmetal.com “The only bad part is that they just made the bulk of your modern metal CD collection sound foolish in comparison.” – Theprp.com |

Despised Icon The Healing Process The Canadian deathcore six-piece DESPISED ICON have just created one of the most devastating and overall brutal albums to come along in some time. The group's stunning mixture of death metal and grindcore will quickly appeal to fans of such artists as Dying Fetus, Nasum and Premonitions of War, while still being able to catch the attention of fans ranging from Morbid Angel to Terror, among others. The Healing Process, was produced by guitarist Yannick St-Amand (Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis), mixed by J-F Dagenais (Misery Index, Kataklysm) and mastered by Alan Douches (Shadows Fall, Dillinger Escape Plan). This album is a relentless slab of sheer aggression matched with impeccable time changes and it quickly raises the bar for their peers. |

Destroyer Destroyer Littered with Arrows Holy fuck… The first thing that comes to mind up when you listen to Littered With Arrows, the Goodfellow debut by Destroyer Destroyer is just that. Holy fuck. Coming from the not-so-metal hotbed of Oklahoma City, OK, this grind metal quintet has been making a name for itself by touring incessantly throughout the southern and central US for the past four years. Now they’ve made an album that properly channels their intensity and will listeners take notice. For this recording the band was able to put into play their dual attack of 7 string custom guitars to achieve those extra low tones while some of the most gut wrenching screams ever put to tape howl over them. Littered With Arrows is no easy listen, but no one said extreme music was easy listening. Recorded at Indiana’s Burning Bridge recording studio, in early 2007, Littered With Arrows’s extreme grind style will appeal to fans of bands such as Converge, Daughters and Ion Dissonance. |

IAMTHETHORN You Are the Lamb Seattle quartet IAMTHETHORN is the newest addition of the Goodfellow Records roster. This new heavy band features an amalgamation of names that will be familiar to those that have followed the Northwest heavy music scene of the past ten years. Featuring Johnny Pettibone (Himsa, Nine Iron Spitfire, Genuine, Undertow) on vocals, Aaron Edge (Grievous, Hauler, Genuine, Harkonen, Himsa, Christ, Hellephant) on guitar and screams, Joe Axler (Skarp, Book of Black Earth, Splatterhouse) drumming and Jerad Shealey (Receder) providing the low end frequencies, the band plays in a frantic, pissed off, down-tuned style of metal that is influenced by bands such as Eyehategod, Crowbar, Integrity and new label-mates Cursed. |

Intronaut Null What do you get when you bring members of UPHILL BATTLE, EXHUMED, PHOBIA and IMPALED together to form a new band? Total sonic destruction in the form of INTRONAUT. This band has dissected metal music down to its raw form and re-constructed it back into 5 of the most crushingly genius songs ever put to tape. Intronaut quickly wrote and recorded four songs that would become the Null EP, and were so pleased with the end result that Intronaut promptly went from side project to full-time band status. Momentum was gained quickly, with the band playing many regional shows and selling over 200 CDR copies of the recording, both at shows and through their website. The EP caught the interest of Chris Logan and Goodfellow Records and a recording deal was signed. The best part is, this is just a taste of what is to come. |

Intronaut Void INTRONAUT returns with a debut full length album so monumental it should be illegal. Over 45 minutes of epic beauty and sheer punishment, Void will change the way heavy music is made and viewed for years to come. "Void is definitely your weapon of choice in 2006" – Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles "a work of genius" – Blabbermouth "Entirely creative and artistically engaging, the underground has just received a new rising star" – theprp.com "The way this thing weaves in and out of madness is highly impressive" – Metal Maniacs |

Officer Down Subversive Paradigm Hailing from Steinbach, Manitoba, Officer Down churn out 90’s hardcore influenced by late 80’s Swedish death/grind bands, with a hint of keyboards. Another strong release on the Goodfellow label. |

Passion The Fierce Urgency of Now Philadelphia, PA's Passion are everything that hardcore needs right now. Remember when you could look at a lyric sheet and find some meaning in what's written? When music was threatening and an expression of everything that is wrong and fucked with the world we live in? This record could not come at a better time as we watch the endless lines of clone bands dumb us down one hit at a time. PASSION IS HARDCORE. For Fans of Black Flag, Catharsis and The Hope Conspiracy |

Purity's Failure Deconstruction The title of this record speaks volumes about the music contained inside. Boston turns out another insane technical fast paced hardcore band. Vocals that will curl your hair. Scary. |
|
Purity's Failure Extensions In the spring of 2003 Purity's Failure entered the New Alliance Studio in Boston to begin recording the Extensions EP with Andrew Schneider (Cave In, The Red Chord, Isis). The sessions were some of the greatest experiences the band has ever had in the studio. The understanding and enthusiasm of Schneider helped to realize the potential of the new songs, and the resulting recording is without question the band's greatest achievement to this point. All of the best elements of Botch, Isis, and Converge have been taken and combined to create a completely fresh sound. |

Quell One Man's Struggle With The English Language This album is a battle call. It is a chance for the listener to hear what they want and not be roped into the the same old boring 'boy meets girl, boy loses girl' type of lyrics. "Chaotic and sick but intelligent and extremely well done. Violent, in your face hardcore metal at its best!" - THE DARKESTHOURS.COM "As caustic as Coalesce while as imaginative as Dillinger Escape Plan, Quell is definitely a band you’ll want to follow intensely." - SMOTHER.NET |

Spitfire Self-Help Virginia's Spitfire published several releases and showed up on a number of compilation discs before jumping to Solid State Records (Underoath, Zao, Norma Jean), the aggressive music imprint label for Tooth and Nail Records (Further Seems Forever, MxPx). The band, a trio at the time, would release The Dead Next Door, its only full-length for Solid State in 1999. Following their stint on the label, Spitfire would regroup as a quartet, while publishing a CDEP on Canada’s Goodfellow Records, The Slideshow Whiplash, in 2001. After months of rumors, the band broke up in late 2001, with several members moving on to other projects. The band has recently rejoined adding Scottie Henry from the metal outfit Norma Jean and Dan Tulloh from the shock rocking Scarlet. Musically, Spitfire plays a hybrid of metal and hardcore that is comparable to Every Time I Die, The Melvins, and even Deadguy. Fans of frantic, chaotic, technical metalcore should check out this underrated and under-appreciated band. |
|
Spitfire The Slideshow Whiplash One of the most intense, insane and bordering on out of control records to maybe ever be released. This defines genres and is leaps and bounds beyond bands like Converge and Dillinger Escape Plan. |

Taken And They Slept |

Taken Between Two Unseens If you ask most people about Taken, they will say that they are by far the most under rated band in the hardcore scene today. Well that is all about to change with the long awaited and final chapter in Taken's history. After countless tours across North America with bands like Curl Up And Die, This Day Forward, Alexisonfire and Thrice, Taken has finally graced us with a new studio album. Five new songs of purely gut wrenching emotional hardcore in the vein of Shail Hulud with huge sing alongs and delay guitar work that would make Cave In weep. Comes with a bonus DVD that features the much talked about Last show and much much more. A fitting farewell to an amazing band. |

The Abominable Iron Sloth The Abominable Iron Sloth At the dawn of the last Ice Age, a powerful Megatherium was lumbering across South America in search of a meal when he suddenly heard a great rumbling sound and turned just long enough to see the oncoming avalanche which would inevitably become his frozen grave. The great sloth was devoured by the icy onslaught and despite his best efforts, was unable to escape it's clutches. But the sloth did not die. There he remained in a perfectly preserved frozen state for the next ten thousand years until one day, in the age of man, the frozen sloth was found by native people high in the mountains and was falsely believed to be a god who was sent to protect the people from their enemies. So the sloth was thawed, and slowly awoke to find himself in a new world surrounded by hairless creatures which stood upright on two legs. He was too weak to fight, but the people took care of him, kept him warm, and well fed on plants he had never seen in his day. They crafted him a set of armour fit for their greatest warrior and waited for the day that the beast would rise and strike down their foes. And one day the sloth did rise, and slaughtered all those who had meant him no ill will. The beast acquired a taste for human blood and devastated any village he could find. He was the new deity of the land. Arrows and spears were unable to penetrate his armour and thick hide and one by one all the greatest warriors fell at the hands of the mighty mammal. To this day it is unknown what may have happened to the behemoth, or if the soulless devourer of human flesh is still alive, but ask any descendants of those survived and they will tell you about the horror that is THE ABOMINABLE IRON SLOTH! FOR FANS OF: WILL HAVEN, IRON MONKEY, KISS IT GOODBYE. |

The Fucking Wrath Season of Evil Hailing from Montalvo, California, The Fucking Wrath consists of three long-time friends that all work in record stores and live on the same street. While the members have each been playing in bands for more than ten years, The Fucking Wrath formed a year-and-a-half ago as a result of jamming for fun after work. Since their initial gig in November of 2005, they have played nearly 70 shows to date, including the No Idea Fest IV in Florida. The band recently completed a five-and-a-half week U.S. tour with Glass and Ashes and is set to embark on another nation-wide tour with Ox vs. Thunderbird in the summer of 2007. Some of the notable bands that they have played with include Tragedy, Coliseum, Planes Mistaken for Stars, Das Oath, Adolescents, and Dr. Know among others. Fueled by healthy doses of THC and a proclivity for loud music, the group headed to the studio and recorded their album, Season of Evil during the week of 6/06/06, which is due to be released on Goodfellow Records. The band’s sound can be described as an amalgamation of groups such as Tragedy, Black Sabbath, and Kill ‘em All-era Metallica. |

The Good Fight Breathing Room Former members of Harvest, Season Of Fire and Threadbare. The Good Fight are five men with nothing to lose and a few scores to settle. a human pentagram of crushing malevolence and ill-will. The Good Fight ain't your daddy, or your mommy, but it has pictures of both of them and is willing to sell them on the internet. like the schoolyard bullies dunking your head over and over into the flushing commode, The Good Fight plants a "kick me" sign on the back of audiences everywhere, despite the fact that none of the band members can read or write. i think they just have some nerd make the signs or something. harder than a honeymoon in ryker's prison, tougher than the final boss in Final Fantasy VI, these rage-o-holics just can't drink enough sweet, sweet rage-o-hol. don't like it? don't admit it out loud, because if word gets back to them, it ain't gonna be pretty. covered head to toe in tattoos, triceps like tree trunks, mustaches like blazing red forest fires, these bruisers are so hard that there's barely any core left. there's just no room! see you in the pit, and then the ambulance! |

The Handshake Murders Usurper The music of defeat, of mud and ash, The Handshake Murders, this is what we are. We are thread and flesh clinging to processed bodies and encompassing desire. We are nowhere. We are Arkansas. We are the singular erratic formation of five years and competence, a journey of crippling respiration and dispersing cries of hope. We are a juggernaut splintering the future. We are human, and we are increase. Recorded at Trax East by Eric Rachel, Usurper the new album by The Handshake Murders, is a lesson in extreme music. There is not a single note played that doesn't absolutely cripple the listener. With direction taken from the likes of Coalesce, A Life Once Lost and Meshuggah, Usurper discovers levels of brutality untouched by their peers. Every few years a band rises with a record to take the metalcore scene to the next tier, Ladies and Gentlemen that band is The Handshake Murders and that album is Usurper. |

The Secret Luce Born from the ashes of FROM THE DYING SKY, THE SECRET started in summer 2003 when its members decided to start a completely new chapter, leaving their previous experiences behind. THE SECRET has been created with the will to explore new artistic scenarios through a whole new stylistic and lyrical approach. Their sound combines elements of hardcore, noise, metal, and post rock to create a dark, heavy yet dynamic sound topped by the noir and cryptic atmospheres of the lyrics. Influenced by a wide range of bands that range from MESHUGGAH to MOGWAI, THE SECRET's music is a complex and intense stream of consciousness which drives the listener through unexpected soundscapes where polyrhythmic breakdowns, dark atmospheric passages, and heavy mosh parts are blended with surgical precision. |

The Smackdown Calling The Spots The Smackdown is the sort of band that comes out of nowhere and creeps into your town in some shitty beat up van and opens up a show for some totally insincere hardcore band and ends up stealing the show and the band's girlfriends. These kids shed blood each and every night, not just for show but to achieve pure emotion and chaos. With Calling The Spots, The Smackdown takes a step in the opposite direction of the mindless, dolled up candy bar known as the Hardcore scene. So put away that black hair dye and tell Dracula he needs to take a back seat for a while because HARDCORE LIVES!!! |
|
The Smackdown Someone Has To Kill The Headwriter In 2006 there still remains a band that willingly gets in a van and drives it on their own to a gig happily booked by themselves to play to kids that didn't have to take a bank loan out to pay to get into said show. A band that doesn't stop to change a string when it breaks and instead throws the instrument down and drops an elbow on it and throws it into the crowd. A kind of band that will in our lifetime die a horrible death and be taken over by the cold hand of insincerity and greed. This band is a punk rock band, this band is a hardcore band, this band is DIY to the grave...... This band is THE SMACKDOWN. FOR FANS OF: REFUSED, JR EWING, BLOOD BROTHERS |

The Spirit That Guides Us North And South The stigma of “emocore”, a term that The Spirit That Guides Us has never been articularly happy with, has now convincingly left behind. North & South is lively and raw and it rocks hard in your face. Less shoe gazing, more fat guitars and freshness in the production, and convincing songs with the euphoric kind of choruses that were Superchunk’s and Sunny Day Real Estate’s hallmark (as in “class of 1998” or “eyes of a killer”). There are still enough different flavours to the songs, as in the acoustic "the final hour", the introspective "concertina crash" and the maximum volume rock & roll of "all the way to the usa" and "accelerator". One thing is clear: The Spirit That Guides Us have made a huge step forward. Heavier and more accessible than their debut without once resorting to clichés, North & South is 2006’s rock & roll record yet it is still flesh and blood music in which the heart speaks. |

To the Lions Baptism of Fire Featuring former members of Confine, Grade and SeventyEightDays in its ranks, the Burlington, Ontario quintet has been together just short of two years but have come together quickly into a tightly wound, pummeling old school hardcore act that reminds you of what it was like to listen to and love hardcore long before it became a fashion show. With a sound that harkens back to the early nineties heyday of bands such as Unbroken, Chokehold and Undertow – classic hardcore that was played for passion, not dollar signs – Baptism Of Fire is chunky, aggressive and chock full of sing-along vocals, breakdowns and intensity. Non-believers beware. To The Lions in their own words: “We love hardcore, we love playing shows, and we love writing music. Hardcore to us isn’t about fashion, promo photos, myspace pages or ‘vote for our video.’ No disrespect to anyone else, we’re just not going to do that.” – To The Lions |
